Muggle Studies

Moby ID: 59099

Description

In this unauthorized Harry Potter fangame, the player, a muggle, is whisked off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to fill an opening for the position of Professor of Muggle Studies. Upon arriving in Dumbledore's office, somewhat more directly than expected, they find that Things Are Awry -- for one, the entire school is uninhabited by its faculty, staff, student body... even the ghosts! A mystery is afoot, and it's up to the player, an ignorant and magic-less visitor to this strange new environment, to get to the bottom of things. Now, if only they can figure out how to deal with the guardians of the doors and staircases needed to get from place to place...

The fannish plot holds the promise of resolving other mysteries -- family strangeness remembered from childhood, and setting straight a romantic predicament.
